Update:We need to see if we can get one of these sellers to sell us the PCBANK 3VIEW PB2700. It has a higher contrast ratio(1200:1) and lower response times(2ms less) than the Catleap and Achieva.

Важно:1. Неочевидная особенность - yamakasi catleap Q270 с буквами 2B в серийном номере держит развертку 100 Hz, а 2C - 65 Hz. Направил вопросы по двум приведенным ссылкам - могут ли выслать именно 2B?
2. Далеко не все карты могут держать 2560x1440

Read the first post over at OCN where this all started for a summary.
http://www.overclock.net/t/1215866/r...d-catleap-q270They are all glossy.
Here's the FAQ part of the OCN thread, but there's tons more info in that first post over there too.

Answers to FAQ:
•Variants of these monitors are all 2560x1440, 27" IPS monitors sold in Korea, not the US. They retail for ~$250 in S. Korea, and end up being ~$400 in the US after shipping. In other words, they're $700-$1000 monitors with higher potential refresh rates for 1/2 the price.
•Sorry, the group buy isn't happening here on OCN, for various reasons. You're free to organize a group buy outside of OCN, and buying them in bulk/selling them on the marketplace would be fine.
•All the Catleap monitors seem to hit 85hz+ (97hz 100hz being the highest so far, which is the GPU's limit at this resolution), while my Achieva can't go above 70hz.
•No 240V/120V step down transformer or EU adapter needed. All you need is a generic PSU cable.
•It's a glossy display, no AG coating
•1 Dual Link DVI input, audio input, and 24V DC input. That's it.
•It's an 8 bit display. There are "10 bit" variants out there but not on Ebay. From what I understand, it's not a true 10 bit panel anyway. Useful info about 8 vs 10 bit color, thank you SJetski71
•No OSD (on this basic "Lite" model), just LED backlight brightness and volume.
•It has an LG IPS LCD panel, the same one found in 27" iMacs. The Dell u2711 uses the LM270WQ2, I think this uses the LM270WQ1. Not sure what the difference is.
•The discussed Catleap variant uses the same display, as far as I know
•Initially, it was ~$460, I bought it just as the price dropped to $398. The Catleap was down to $370 once. Prices have been rising with demand.
•The Ebay squaretrade warranty doesn't apply, as far as I know. You can buy it, but if the monitor breaks, you'll simply get a refund for the warranty, as this isn't a product intended for the US. Squaretrade reps say that they'll cover this monitor, but we won't really know until someone tries to send in a monitor under warranty.
•Yes, it's fine for gaming. Due to the lack of a scaler or any extra inputs, input lag is on par with my 720p TV.
•It's 60hz default, not 97hz or 120hz.
•Both the Achieva and Catleap have VESA mounting points.
•I don't remember paying any import taxes. The seller (dream seller) handled shipping, I never got a tracking number. It got here in about 3 business days.
•My Achieva does not have a glass surface, other variants do. I'm not sure if the bezel is removable, but it doesn't seem to be.
•There are multiple reports of very small amounts of dust stuck behind the glass of the IPSB model. In terms of reliability, the non glass models have a better track record, and glass doesn't improve the display quality.
•The Achieva QH270-lite from Dream Seller on Ebay is the IPSBS model, with speakers and no glass.
•There is a UK variant of the monitor, the Hazro HZ27WC, but it's significantly more expensive. Achieva is Hazro's OEM. As the manual and any OSD will be in Korean, the Hazro manual may be helpful.
•There may be a valid manufacturer's warranty, but don't get your hopes up. See quote below.
•The (Achieva) stand does tilt back.
•My Achieva from dream seller came in bubble wrap, as have some monitors from every other seller. Others did not.
•dcSamsungMall ships by Fedex. Dream Seller ships by EMS, which is ultimately handled by the United States Postal Service. Shipping times and methods vary.
